ASSESSMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR REMODELING IN PATIENTS BEFORE AND AFTER KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION

Abstract

Remodeling of the left ventricle is its structural and geometric changes, including the processes of left ventricular hypertrophy and dilation, leading to changes in geometry, sphericity and disorders of systolic and diastolic function. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is the main preclinical manifestation of damage to the cardiovascular system, increasing the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), including myocardial infarction, stroke, congestive heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias and conduction, sudden death, general mortality, both in the general population, in patients with arterial hypertension, and among patients with hemodialysis and after kidney transplantation. The article highlights transplantation in patients undergoing elective hemodialysis and patients undergoing kidney allotransplantation
